Also:
* Introduce classes mw-float-end, mw-float-start so we don't have to use inline css depending on wfUILang()/$wgLang (see HistoryPage and SpecialFileDuplicateSearch)
* Add direction mark to protection log
* Remove specialpageattributes as it is obsoleted by this commit (also fixes bug 28572)
* Add two direction marks in wfSpecialList, which makes ltr links on rtl wiki (and vice versa) display nicely as well (only on those special pages however)
* Revert r91340 partially: use mw-content-ltr/rtl class anyway in shared.css. Both ways have their [dis]advantages...
* Set the direction of input fields by default to the content language direction (except buttons etc.) in shared.css
* Replace the overly paranoid regex with a function that simulates IE6's behavior
* Remove the UA check in isPathInfoBad(), was causing more problems than it was worth
* Revert r87711, going back to using dots for dots in ResourceLoader URLs, instead of exclamation marks
* Append &* to ResourceLoader URLs. * is an illegal character in extensions, and putting it at the end of the URL ensures that both IE6 and our detection function will deem the URL to have no extension (unless something like .html? appears in the query string, but in that case we're screwed no matter what)
* Expand these URLs in ResourceLoaderContext
* Build and emit these URLs in OutputPage::makeResourceLoaderLink() and in mw.loader
* Throw an exception in ResourceLoader::register() for module names that contain pipe characters or commas. Commas need to be forbidden for this packing feature to work. Pipes were already forbidden but weren't checked for
It's not ideal, but at least it's no worse than it was in 1.16. It's preferable because the content area is more likely to have bidirectional text than the UI area. The UI is split up into short strings, generally in a consistent language, so there is less chance of the UBA moving fragments of text around.
Ideally, the direction of each div would be set according to the language of the text it contains.
* Interpreted some Trevor-speak in the doc comment of ResourceLoader::preloadModuleInfo().
* Made setMsgBlobMtime() (called from preloadModuleInfo()) actually work, by making getMsgBlobMtime() use the cached blob times if they are available.
* Break long lines.
* Convert long or unnecessary ternary operator usages to if/else.
* Fixed excessively clever assignment expressions.
* Rename $cache to $cacheEntry.
* Removed unnecessary web invocation guards. Their perlish form was making me uncomfortable. BTW, unlike in Perl, die() is not a function, it's a special case in the PHP grammar which very roughly simulates the Perl syntax:
die "x"; // works
0 || die("x"); // works
0 || (die); // works
0 || (die "x"); // fail!
